PERU, IL (Amy Flanery – La Salle News-Tribune Please click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) For the 100th day of school, students in Chris Goodman’s kindergarten class at Northview School in Peru had 100 activities to choose from. In the afternoon they would learn what 100 seconds feels like while seeing how many times they could write their name or how many jumping jacks they could do in that amount of time. But that morning they got a special treat, when classmate Maddilyn Sopczynski’s great-great-grandmother came to visit. Louise Justi of Spring Valley will be 100 years old this June. She still lives independently and cooks for herself most days. “She baked cream puffs this morning,” said Maddilyn’s mother, Amanda Sopczynski of Peru. Amanda is the daughter of Carie Delhotal of Seatonville, who is the daughter of Richard Justi of Spring Valley. Richard is Louise’s son.
